"Effective Unit Testing for Java EE" by Rob DiMarco
Co-Sponsored by HealthMarketScience and jsync
Abstract
The importance of unit testing and continuous integration is well accepted in modern software development. But how does an Enterprise Java developer cheaply, easily, and effectively test their application when they are so dependent on so many pieces of infrastructure, like an application server and a relational database. This presentation will demonstrate how using open source technologies can improve the effectiveness of your unit testing for JEE applications. Open source tools that will be demonstrated include Maven 2, Cobertura, JBoss Embedded EJB 3.0 Container, Hypersonic DB, and JUnit 4.
